June 11 marked the seventh annual Centered: Slightly Off-Center senior citizen art show at the Davis Family YMCA in Boardman.
This year’s show included more than 60 resident artists from Antonine Villages, Briarfield at Ashley Circle, the Commons at Greenbriar, Countryside at the Elmwoods, the Inn at Christine Valley, the Inn at Glenellen, the Inn at Ironwood and the Inn at Poland Way.
The artists and guests enjoyed an afternoon of music by the Classical Strings in a venue adorned with flowers courtesy of Anguilli’s Farm Market. Refreshments were provided by Giant Eagle and Rulli Brothers. More than $500 in prizes was awarded to three artists from each center, plus eight overall awards thanks to an annual donation by Denise DeBartolo York.
